Chapter 671 - 667: Just Have One Yourself
——————
Yan Jinsu was taken by her husband to stroll on the streets for nearly two hours. Upon returning home, exhausted, mother and sons promptly washed up and huddled together for an afternoon nap. After seeing his wife and children resting, Xie Jingchen finally left the front courtyard.
In the hospital, with Hu Zhengjie looking after things, Xie Jingchen wasn’t worried. However, the thought that those people actually dared to follow him so brazenly, they must just be small fry.
Or perhaps, they weren’t even worthy of being small fry, just there merely to startle the snake by beating the grass.
When Yan Jinsu woke up, she unexpectedly saw her sister-in-law had come.
Xie Jingzi’s school hadn’t officially started yet. She got engaged to Zhou Zhenghui on the sixth day of the new year, and no one from the Xie family attended; Zhou Zhenghui also mentioned that the ceremony was just an internal affair of the Zhou family. He assured that when the official engagement took place, no member of the Xie family would be missing.
On the eighth day of the new year, Xie Tiesheng, along with his wife, Xiao Si, and Xiaoqi, went to the county town. That day, Xie Jingzi, missing her parents and Zhou Zhenghui needing to return earlier to preside over his work, caused the newly engaged couple to leave for the county town without waiting for Xie Jingchen and his wife to arrive.
Xie Jingzi had prioritized submitting her tuition fees at school, then followed Zhou Zhenghui back to Beijing for the Lantern Festival.
Initially, she had wanted to stay in the county to accompany her parents, especially since she hadn’t spent the festival with them, and not staying really seemed inappropriate.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiuhua and her husband were actually worried about their daughter and son-in-law in distant Beijing. When the future son-in-law mentioned returning to Beijing for the Lantern Festival, the old couple knew that the young Zhou wanted to take their daughter with him, but without their consent, he felt embarrassed to pressure their youngest daughter.
